EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Jellalabad, now known as Jalalabad, a British outpost situated east of Kabul in Afghanistan. The year is 1879, and photographer John Burke has skillfully captured the essence of this vibrant cityscape. The main street comes alive with activity as men from all walks of life fill the frame. A large group of people can be seen going about their daily routines, creating a mesmerizing visual symphony amidst the sepia-toned backdrop. It's a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to witness the energy and diversity that thrived within these ancient walls. As our eyes wander through this historic scene, we are drawn towards the covered bazaar where merchants proudly display their wares. The marketplace becomes an epicenter for trade and exchange, showcasing goods from near and far. We can almost imagine the sounds of bartering conversations mingling with laughter and animated discussions. John Burke's lens transports us outdoors on a sunny day, capturing every detail with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we become witnesses to history unfolding before our very eyes – an evocative reminder of how cultures intersected during this era. This extraordinary print invites us to immerse ourselves in its rich narrative; it beckons us to explore further into forgotten stories etched within each face present on that fateful day in Jellalabad over 140 years ago.
